Columbia Capital is a premier venture capital franchise in wireless, broadband, media, and enterprise information technology investing. Since our formation in 1989, we have taken a sector-focused approach to investing, and have funded over 120 companies in our core markets. Our sector focus allows us to regularly identify disruptive emerging companies and to recognize and build value throughout a company’s lifecycle – from early stage investments, to large growth stage financings and special situations.
A Proven Record. A Network of Value.
Our most recent venture fund of $560 million, Columbia Capital Equity Partners IV, closed in 2005, brings our total dollars under management to over $2 billion. Columbia is comprised of a team of ten partners that has been investing together at the firm for over a decade. We bring the collective expertise of our team to bear to help our portfolio companies succeed-creating value through industry knowledge and access to the extensive network of business and technical relationships we've built over time.
